Any overseas businesses raking in over $75,000 per annum from Australian consumers will be affected.

Any business that refuses to collect GST from their customers can expect to have their website blocked all throughout Australia.

Tom Godfrey's, Head of Communication at CHOICE agrees that these are sad, sad days for lovers of online shopping:

"Consumers buy a range of specialty products from overseas-based online stores. These include niche cosmetics brands like Charlotte Tilbury or Glossier, and non-standard sized clothing brands like Long Tall Sally and Pink Clove.

"If the Federal Government is going to start blocking these websites, it will disadvantage local consumers while providing absolutely no economic benefit to Australia. These products are not available in Australian stores. If the websites that supply them are blocked, consumers will lose out."
